Attempt #103 - Sam's Club


The Venue 
Menu
2605 Blairs Ferry Road NE,
Cedar Rapids, IA 52402
(319) 393-7746

Sam’s Club is known for selling bulk items of food, often as a discount.  Similar to Costco, it has a low cost dining  area near the front of the store, where patrons can order pizza, hot dogs, chicken strips, and similarly priced “concession” items.  The seating consists of hard small 4-person picnic benches with a self-serve pop machine against the wall.  The items are very reasonably priced; however, don’t be expected to be waited on.

The Verdict
Sauce: Bland.  Aweful.
Cheese: There was plenty of cheese on the slices, this was probably the best part of the event.
Crust: The crust was not great.  It was flat in the middle of the pie, and on the rim, it was decent and bready.
Toppings: Terrible. The supreme was actually decent, but the rest was bland and lacking

Final Comments/Considerations:  Sam’s rated as the forth worst pizza.  IF you are really desperate, be warned, DON’T let it get cold.  Gross.
